MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI KOTLA JAYA SURYA PRAKASH REDDY)
(a) & (b): Unreserved Ticketing System-cum-Passenger Reservation System (UTS-cum-PRS) has
been commissioned at the Sidhpur station from 19.11.2010 and Passenger Reservation System (PRS)
facility has been provided at Sidhpur post office from 2.4.2009.
(c) & (d): Railway has received two requests for construction of over/under bridge at Sidhpur.
The details are as under :
1. Extension of existing Railway Foot Over Bridge at Sidhpur Railway Station (which connects
Platform No.1 with island platform) for people residing on both sides to cross the station.
The request/demand is under scrutiny at Divisional level. Feasibility exists for extension.
2. Road Under Bridge at Bus Station Sidhpur: Since no level crossing exists at the proposed
location, Road Under Bridge can be constructed on deposit terms only where complete cost of
construction and maintenance are to be borne by the State Government/Sidhpur Nagar Palika.
Railway has approached State Government to sponsor the above proposal. No response from the
State Government has been received so far.
